So whilst studying abroad one must also have a place to sleep! We're really lucky because Actilangue tries their best to set us up with Host families who a nice and will speak French with us. Alex and I, however, got the best of the best.... And here is why:
The first day I was here and terrified she talked to me about the people of Nice and how I had nothing to be scared of, she also walked me around and showed my the laundry mat, the superman he near by and the nearest ATM.
Next, is woman's cooking the the bomb.com. She asked us first night if we had any allergies or anything we don't eat. Alex doesn't eat pork and I don't eat seafood. Since then she has gone out of her way to buy chicken or turkey sausage instead of the usual pork. ALSO. Her cooking is delicious. It usually simple, traditional French meals, and she gives us as much as we want... And she doesn't look at me funny when I ask her for a third helping or salad.
Third, she has a handsome boyfriend. He's Danish, with a German name, and he's hilarious and very stern. We forces us to speak French, and when we don't know the word we have to explain it using words we do know. But the best part is their chemistry together, they fight... But it's really just super flirty and they are an amazing musical duo! He plays the piano and she sings, all through the night... It is the best thing ever.
Lastly (this isn't the last thing I love about her just the last one I'm going to post), she is TRES French. Now your thinking, well duh, she is French, she was born in Bordeaux. But seriously, she dresses French, she loves jazz, her hair always looks amazing, she rides her bike around the town with her hair in a scarf, she's super independent and amazing....
In summation, Alex and I have the BEST host mom. It has been really great staying with her.
